When is it time to replace my siding?

Siding not only protects your home, but it can reduce utility costs! Vinyl siding typically needs to be replaced when you start noticing any cracks. It’s best to replace or repair wood siding if you notice any signs of rotting or paint coming off. Installing new siding can even reduce utility costs.

Signs of Aging

Vinyl siding will begin to show its age with cracking and warping. Warping is often caused by years of direct sunlight, while cracks often occur after years of variating temperatures. Both of which are super common in Idaho Falls. If you have wood siding on your Idaho Falls home, watch for signs of rot and damage caused by bugs or animals.

Paint Peeling / Color Fading

Wood siding is especially susceptible to damage after the paint has peeled off. To keep your home’s siding protected, sand the peeled portions and reapply weather-resistant paint. If your home’s siding requires more than just patchwork, it’s time to replace the siding with something a little more durable. Luckily, modern vinyl siding is an awesome way to renovate your exterior.

Improving Insulation

To improve insulation in your home, select a new vinyl siding with a great insulating rating. Thick vinyl backed with insulation will help keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. If you're tired of how expensive your monthly utility bills have become, definitely consider adding more insulation to your home by adding thicker siding. Extra insulation definitely helps out with our Idaho winters!
